SECRECY As TO THEIR FINAL FATE-THE
COURTS DECISION
To 30 Rendered SOu-PrVbabl9 Action Of the
Council FIR the Deiense-GnundSO on
Which They Would Garry
Il 10 the Supreme Court

CHICAGO, September 1T is now
pretty universally acknowledged that the
Supreme Court is a very close-mouthed in
stitution, and that it deserves to rank, in
that respect, with that additionally silent
individual, the oyster.
Certain it is that both the counsel for the
defense and the States Attorneys office ef-
fusively deny knowing anything about it.
Not only this, they also deny having the
slightest idea as to when the decision will
be made public. Everybody is fruitful,
however, in guesses, and these guesses ex-
tend all the way from two or three days
10 two or three weeks. 1t Is certain that
the counsel for the defendants feel so posi-
tive that the decision will not be an
nounced for several days yet that they
haye decided not to 20 10 Ottawa I'll! to
morrow.
one oI the Assistant States Attorneys
Yesterday expressed Shs opinion that Flel-
den and Parsons will De SraGfed q new
trial by the Supreme Court, and that al
the case of the others the decision OF the
lower court would be affirmed.
As there has been some talk IS to what
the defendants would do should the Su-
preme Court
AFFIRM I'll JUDGMENT
of the court below, Mr.. SalOmaD was seen on
that subject, when the following brief In
| teryiew occurred:
should the Supreme court affirm the
Judgment Of the court below what VIII yon
dor"
1--WE will take the case to the United
| States Supreme Court
"On what ground would you base your
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court?'
"On the following grounds l. On the
! exercise Of unreasonable search and
1 seizure. :. Gu compelling the defendants
\ to give evidence against themselves. 3
On the lower courts denial OF the right Of
free speech. 4. ON the lower courts denial
of the right Of peaceable assenblage. 3.
On the lower courts denial of the right of
free belief. 6. On the denial of an impair
tial Jury. Z. On the want of proper in
| formation of the nature and cause of the
accusation"
1t may be stated in e6plaGAtiOn OF the
fifth cause, that Judge Gary instructed the
iury that they would have the right 10
| take into consideration, in making up their
verdict, the fact that the defendants were
Anarchists and Socialists IN their opin-
ions.
In the meantime, in n very quiet and
unassuming way, Sheriff Mstson and Cap
tain Hathaway, OF the East Chicago Avenue
Police Station, are making arrangements
for possible coming events in case the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court is adverse to
the Anarchists, ana arrangements have
been made for receiving prompt an4 smith
cient aid from the Chicago Avenue Station
by ''cannon-hall" patrol wagons in the
CASE OS HOSTILE DEMONSTRATIONS
being made AGAINST the county Jail.
Rumors, seemingly veil founded, are
current among the police to the eject that
Anarchist leaders, not yet in Jail, have
/ started a newNline Of operations, and that,
in order to avoid being watched, they have
started headquarters in o small town with
in essS reach of Chicago. Here the active
leaders OF the Chicago Anarchists meet to-
gether, il is said, at StSted times, and dis
euss what shall be done ia esss % any
demonstrations which may be decided upon
in case the Supreme Court should affirm
the Judgment of the court below.
1t kas long been well known that every
active leader GG,ODg the anarchists has
been continually under tie gGtchful vigi-
lance of the police department, ana thSt
their ~out-goings and coming-ins have been
closely watched. 1t has been noticed that
4 hss been impossible to discover more
than two OF three together, excepting on
the street, sad this, among other things,
has led the pOlies to the belief Of their
ont Of town meetings, and Investigations
have confirmed this gueSs-wofk.
Owing to the many ways OF reaching a
town near Chicago, 1t has been Quad
almost an impossibility TO decide to e GER
tainty where the out-oftowns meetings
of the anarchists are beng held. 1t is
knsSH, however, that such ~out-oftown
meetings are being held, and that THE
anarchist leaders are indGstfiolsly laying
plans for their future proceedings.
